- If we want to win, we need to be concentrated all 40 minutes of the match. «Parma» has a lot of strong individual players, we need to be careful on rebounds, attentive to the individualization of each player of our rival and act as a team in the attack. We can create good opportunities for throws, but we need to improve the percentage of hits. It is important to note that all the injured players returned to the team and this is good because every player in our team is important to us.
